Quilting Thread

I use only King Tut, reason being I tried others and my Sweet 16 was very unhappy. It isn't worth the difference in price to waste hours adjusting the tension back and forth and picking out ugly stitches. I'll keep my King Tut. You can get it cheaper, just google it.

I have a Janome 11000SE & I use signature thread for piecing & machine quilting. I love it. Never have had a problem with it. But it does get linty & have to use the brush to clean out bobbin compartment. I read on this board that compressed air is not good to use with computerized machines.

I have used Tut and Signature. I do prefer Tut over Signature . Do be aware the Signature makes two different weights a 40 wt and a 20 wt. I find the needle size I need for the 20 wt is larger ( so the thread does not break or shred) than anything I want to use on batik fabrics. It leaves a rather larger hole that does not go away . This is of particular concern if you ever have to remove stitches. So My order of preference is Tut is number 1 by a mile , Signature 40 wt is second , and Signature 20 wt is really my very last choice.
